i grow this rose in front of a north facing wall in zone 6b. it flowers prolific, really nice "white" flowers. in fact flowers vary in color according to weather and/ or age of flower from light fleshy/ warm pink (buds are always tinged with pink) over very light yellow to white, initially with a large egg-yolk yellow center when opening, but nevertheless one might call it a "white" rose. with me it is now in it's 3rd year, grown already 3 m high. a magnet for bumble-bees. superb scent. really hardy, even though we had 3 weeks of severe frost (up to -18°Celsius) with almost no snow cover last winter, there was absolutely no damage. for me one of the most beautiful of the white rambling roses.
